| dc.description | Overall view from N. Grand Avenue, looking southwest; Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at left; A 739-seat thrust stage at the Los Angeles Music Center designed by Welton Becket and Associates. The smallest of the three venues, the Taper is flanked by the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and the Ahmanson Theatre on the Music Center Plaza. Mr. Becket designed the center in the style of New Formalism, which emphasized geometric shapes. The perfectly circular Taper is considered one of his best works, featuring a distinctive decorated drum of a design with its exterior wrapped in a lacy precast relief by Jacques Overhoff. The lobby has a curving, abalone wall by Tony Duquette. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/29/2013) | en_US |
